" Today (03-04-2010) morning, as informed earlier, we had another round of talks between our five workmen unions and IBA. In today’s meeting, after detailed discussions, final understandings have been reached on the various service conditions and the chart on distribution of the total increase of Rs. 2577 crores to various heads has been finalised. It has now been decided that the next meeting will take place on 7th April, 2010 when the draft settlement will be taken up for finalisation. It has been further decided that after finalising the draft settlement, the signing of the same should be completed by middle of April, 2010.

 

Comrades, it is a major step today that we are nearing the final settlement. We urge upon our members to remain patient at this crucial hour as we are aware that many misinformed and misguided individuals are trying to create confusions and disaffection. Remain united, remain alert to keep such attempts at a distance.

IBA – UFBU MEETING - 31.03.2010

IBA – UFBU MEETING -  31.03.2010   AIBOA Version
"Today meeting took place of UFBU followed by IBA in afternoon. In the UFBU meeting it was decided to pursue the issue of Pension with IBA and also to expedite wage revision.  The convenor reported that on the equalization demand for PF and incremental cost, IBA/Govt. are not agreed.  On date of effect of pension it was decided to further pursue.

In the meeting with IBA, IBA reiterated its earlier position and negatived our demand on incremental cost and PF equalization.  Further  they informed that in regard to the likely number of persons not  opting, some cost adjustments can be made.  However after talking to the Govt., the CEO reported that the Govt. is for going by actual numbers only.

In view of the negative attitude of the IBA, UFBU has informed IBA that they are withdrawing all Pension demands.  With that meeting ended.

It was agreed to meet IBA on 3rd April 2010 to discuss the issues of wage revision further."
